phil Dean Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I've booked my diff into Peter Cox Sports Cars for a look at and refurb, unfortunately it can't be done until early April. In the meantime I thought I would check the Diff breather on the top of the Diff no doubt it is probably blocked. Looking in the manual it describes it as a Cotter Pin !! and washer. I thought it might be some form of plunger that when pressure builds up pushes up to relieve the pressure. Can somebody explain how it works. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 (edited) No. That split pin and washer are as original. Just be sure the split pin wobbles around in its hole and the washer is free to move. When it blocks the axle leaks., much the same as the engine and gearbox. Used to be part of vehicle service procedure. . Check breathers are clear and operational Edited February 23 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Moltu Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 One of the things you should wiggle when you check the oil level. Technically what we call split pins can also be called split cotter pins. (I know we think of cotter pins as the things that attach the pedal crank on a bike) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
